Week 17 Quarterback Rankings for Fantasy Football: Jared Goff, Gardner Minshew, Mike White, Teddy Bridgewater, Carson Wentz

Updated Week 17 fantasy football quarterback rankings as of January 1st, 2023. Set your winning lineups with our Week 17 NFL rankings for fantasy football.

Fantasy managers who made it this far will be without quarterbacks Jalen Hurts (shoulder), Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), and Lamar Jackson (knee) for the championship round of the fantasy football playoffs. Gardner Minshew is expected to draw the start against New Orleans, and Teddy Bridgewater is confirmed as the starter versus New England. At the same time, Tyler Huntley fills in again for Jackson versus the Steelers. The Raiders are changing quarterbacks and benching Derek Carr in favor of Jarrett Stidham; the Cardinals will roll with David Blough against the Falcons. Meanwhile, Washington will start Carson Wentz over Taylor Heinicke in Week 17. We'll help you sort through it all with our updated Week 17 fantasy football quarterback rankings, as of January 1st. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key quarterbacks like Jared Goff, Gardner Minshew, Mike WhiteTeddy Bridgewater, and Carson Wentz rank, among others.

Our quarterback fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison, and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week.
